Muzium Permainan Tradisional Bukit Malawati: Kembali ke Zaman Kanak-Kanak

Minggu lepas, kami berpeluang bawa anak-anak melawat Muzium Permainan Tradisional di Bukit Malawati, Kuala Selangor. Jauh jugalah perjalanan kami, tapi memang excited nak tengok muzium ni sebab nak tunjukkan anak-anak permainan yang pernah Mummy Daddy main masa kecil dulu.

Muzium Permainan Tradisional ni merupakan salah satu tarikan baru di Bukit Malawati, yang terkenal dengan kubu bersejarah, pemandangan cantik, dan pastinya monyet-monyet yang setia menyambut pengunjung.

Mainan sensori dengan pasir (Construction themed sand sensory play)

Masa plan last minit nak buat makan-makan untuk birthday Bilal baru-baru ni, sebenarnya plan nak buat small scale messy play di Open House Play Center, sebab dah lama sangat tak buat messy play sejak pandemik melanda.

Tapi sebab hujan yang tak menentu pagi petang sejak seminggu dua, terpaksa batalkan niat. Takut pulak tgh messy play hujan tiba-tiba, kesian tetamu pulak. Jadi plan tukar buat makan-makan sikit kat rumah je. 

Tapi sebab Mummy yang dah teringat-ingat nak bagi Bilal and Balqis main, jadi Mummy terus ajak Daddy set up small sensory play sections at home.

Dan sebab Bilal is so into construction trucks and sort that we have to hafal all the vehicles name (ppfftt!) we made a sensory play section of sand play with construction theme!

Kaitan bermain dengan anak-anak membaca dan menulis

Masa nak cari sekolah untuk Balqis, pilihan kami agak limited disebabkan kawasan rumah kami yang bukanlah di tengah-tengah bandar. Jujurnya, salah satu pilihan utama nak masukkan ke play school tapi jauh jaraknya dari rumah kalau nak pergi hantar dan balik.

Lepas tu nak kena fikir waktu pula. Ada tadika had kan masa maksimum daycare sampai pukul 6 ptg sahaja. Oleh sebab masa tu kerja yang memang sampai dalam jam 6.30 ptg, maka cut juga dari list.

Kebetulan ada satu sekolah ni. ]ay care sampai 6.30 petang dan franchise kepada tadika yang dah well-established juga. Jadi kami decide nak pergi open day tu juga. Dah la kami sampai lambat, Principal nak start presentation dah.

Ok point satu suka principal ni sebab dia dari KL. (Ok biased, I know LOL! JK!).

Tapi, yang buat terus pandang Amin dan decide, "Ok, Balqis masuk sekolah ni" - sebab salah satu slide presentation principal tunjuk tentang Learning Skills Pyramid (rujuk rajah di bawah.)

theAsianparent app - your no 1 pregnancy and parenting app

When I was about to become a first time mom back in 2014, I remember myself looking for information everywhere on pregnancy, delivering a baby, breastfeeding and even how to care for my little ones. I bought books, I Googled and I even asked my family and friends. Information was everywhere, but I secretly wish for a community where I can ask and discuss about all of the things at one place.

Years passed by and I found out about theAsianparent apps! It was like a dream comes true. Even though I have already have 2 kids now, 5 years old elder Bee and 2 years old little Bee, there are still sometimes queries on how to care and raise my kids well. So I am so glad that I came across the apps!

Birthday Party with KFC Chicky & Friends at AEON Big Ampang

We actually didn't plan big for Bilal's second birthday party. All we had in mind was to buy a cake and some food and hang out with family at home. But my mom got another idea and she wanted to throw her grandson a birthday party at any fast food restaurant instead. After giving some thoughts and had some discussions, we said okay to Nenek. So we had Bilal's 2nd birthday party at KFC Aeon Big Ampang the day after his actual birthday (because of the availability of the slot). 

We choose KFC as our party place as it is obviously everyone's favorite fast food restaurant. KFC Aeon Big Ampang is the nearest KFC store from our place which have the birthday party service. Plus point that the party area is spacious and is separated from the main KFC dining area.

Little Caliph Pearl City & Jawi Sports Day and Anniversary Carnival

Little Caliph Pearl City and Little Caliph Jawi (also known as Tadika As Saadah) Sports Day was more like a carnival, held in conjunction with Tadika As Saadah’s 5th anniversary.

Mummy woke up early in the morning, very excited to attend Balqis’ very first Sports Day. Balqis was also excited and looking forward to her Sports Day. She had been practising the Robocar Poli dance, which the kids were supposed to perform during the opening ceremony.

She would ask Mummy every day after school if tomorrow was Sports Day.

When she woke up and got ready, she was still very excited. We had breakfast first before going to the event venue. We reached the Sports Day venue, registered, and went to wait under the tent.

Saya pun nak cium katak kalau dia tukar jadi camni.....

Rumah Titian Kasih, Titiwangsa

If u ever came across my entry about PBSM Malaysia located in Jalan Nipah, off Jalan Ampang, KL, you’ll remember about the unused item (mostly clothes) yang kami sekeluarga hantar as a donation so that they can sell and use the money for their PBSM activity.

So few months back, i did a closet clearance and have some clothes that I don’t use anymore and wanted to send it off to PBSM. Then call cousins & aunts tanya kalau2 ada jugak barang nak hantar sana, boleh kumpul2 hantar sekali. tetiba bila dah kumpul macam banyak pulak. then mum said, this time x payah hantar kat PBSM la. she read about an orphanage home, Rumah Titian Kasih (RTK), near Taman Tasik Titiwangsa. So she gave me the address and I went there with my aunt & cousin. Masa tu, pergi, hantar clothes and some dry foods, then balik. Nothing much.



Lebih kurang seminggu yang lepas, sepupu ada buat kenduri tahlil hari ke 40 untuk pakcik kat rumah atuk (the same house i live in). Masa kenduri tu, kami ada buat bungkusan2 makanan2 kering (kueh mueh, buah, jelly etc) untuk bagi pada tetamu2. So, sepupu tu buat la lebih sebab nak sedekah kat rumah anak yatim sikit. Ikutkan rumah yang kitorang pergi tu, ada la dalam 50 orang mcm tu kot (anggaran je).

So esok tu, kitorang pun pergi la ke Rumah Titian Kasih tu, bawak bungkusan2 tu dan ada baju2 dari ahli keluarga yang x digunakan lagi.

Sampai-sampai kami carik Mak Pah, pengurus rumah tu. Mak Pah kata x ramai orang hari tu sebab ada orang bawak diorang pergi kenduri kahwin. Ok, x kisah lah tu.

Mak Pah tanya kami pernah pergi tak rumah lagi satu, rumah yang menempatkan anak2 perempuan. Ohhh.. rupanya baru kami tahu rumah yang ni ialah rumah lelaki, tapi sebab pejabat kat sini so Mak Pah selalu kat sini. Rumah lagi satu rumah perempuan. Mak Pah kata kat rumah perempuan ada orang OKU dan warga emas jugak. Mak Pah ajak kami pergi rumah tu. Ok gak. sebab x pernah pergi tengok pun.



Sementara tunggu Mak Pah and pergi rumah perempuan, kami beli la sikit2 makanan2 yang dijual, hasil tangan ibu2 tunggal di sini, sebagai salah satu punca pendapatan. Ada kerepek, kuih dan acar buah.
Sampai kat rumah perempuan, tengok x ramai orang. Mak Pah kata ada yang pergi kem motivasi, ada yang pergi kenduri kahwin.

Masuk dalam rumah tu, ternampak ada seorang kanak-kanak perempuan ni. nampak macam umur 2-3 tahun. Duduk sorang2 je. Mak Pah bagi satu bungkusan yang kamu bawak tu. dia masuk bilik, duduk sorang2 je terkial-kial nak bukak bungksan tu. Bila nampak die macam susah nak bukak tu, kitorang datang kat dia nak tolong dia..

nama panggilan dia kak cik. ayah kak cik baru je meninggal. ibu kak cik xtau la pulak mane.

see that’s my niece, Nurin in yellow shirt. she’s 4+ years old. kak cik is much smaller than Nurin,kan. But she’s actually 5. Mak Pah kata dia sangat x cukup makan, x cukup zat before masuk RTK ni. Kak Cik ada 2 org abang yang sama2 tinggal di sini.

Then, there’s a girl named Nana. 24 years old. I can’t remember ape nama penyakit dia Mak Pah ada bagitau. But she talks reaaalllyy slow. bukan gagap. she kept on asking “mana ibu nana…?” “kenapa ibu x datang..?” she called cousin Kak Lina, aunt and my mum “Ibu…Ibu….”.. and she kept on repeating “Mak Pah baik… jaga kami….mak Pah baik sangat….”  Mak Pah cakap diorang pun x tau kat mana ibu Nana sebenarnya..

meet Nana. :)

Anak yatim, OKU, ibu tunggal, warga emas – all in a place they call heaven, Rumah Titian Kasih (Mak Pah is the one on the right,  in blue kurung and grey tudung)

This is Haziq and his sister Farah. both parents are alive. but sadly dua-dua bermasalah, and pity this beautiful kids, kat sini tempat mereka akan membesar.. i wonder where are the other family member..grandparents? aunties? uncles? :(

bercerita pasal pergi Rumah Titian Kasih ni bukan dengan tujuan nak berlagak. kami pun bukan orang senang sangat pun. tapi kami teringin nak tolong setakat mana yang mampu. InsyaAllah, Allah tahu niat kami ikhlas.
and i hope and pray, kalau la ada yang lebih mampu, bantu-bantu lah mereka ni jugak. RTK bukan di bawah biayaan Jabatan Kerajaan Masyarakat ataupun Baitimal. They stand on their own feet. and they need help.
